I suggested him a couple of months ago, but got shot down by one of the 'know everything posters' on here ! Apparently he doesn't want to ride in England....not sure why though? probably coz the standard is poor, for want of a better word? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JPB had massive potential as 15/16 year old...not sure he's fulfilled that...such is life and consequences of choices made. I think, if he can obtain decent equipment and knuckle down, he wont be far off in the reserves race. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He certainly has potential but you can’t afford to have a sub 3 point rider instead of Stefan Nielsen with a lack of heat leader strength it’s vital you have two super strong reserves. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ljriley90 47 Posted January 18, 2022 Just now, GiveusaB said: Morris and Shanes are too good to be reserves They have 4 averages, as does nielsen. So that gives you 3x strong reserves all year. You should be looking at 2x 6.00 men and a number 1 not pushing morris and shanes into main body 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would imagine you are looking along the lines of vissing and gappmaier plus one other. unless LR can pull a rabbit out of the hat like Plymouth did with the Bjarne pedersen signature I really can’t see who you will get of any heat leader quality Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
